YouTube Premium subscribers will be able to enjoy some new exclusive features besides the ad removal feature that are considered to be quite attractive improving their overall experience. The popular video-sharing platform owned by Google has confirmed that it has introduced five new features for the Premium tier and three of them are experimental, which means that two are stable newly launched features for Premium YouTube users and the rest three features are in the testing phase and might cause slight issue while using.
YouTube New stable features
YouTube has added a ‘Jump Ahead’ tab which is a stable new feature available for Premium subscribers. It appears when a user double-clicks on a video to skip a few seconds ahead. This video-sharing platform utilizes artificial intelligence and community data to identify the best chunks of the video and this new ‘Jump Ahead’ tab lets users reach directly to those chunks of the video. This function is now accessible on the Android platform and it will be available on the iOS platform in a few weeks.
The second one is a much-anticipated feature titled the picture-in-picture support for YouTube Shorts. Essentially, Premium subscribers will be able to reduce Shorts in a floating window while using other applications on their devices. Although this feature has been in use for quite a long time in standard videos, now it will be available for Shorts as well, which means that YouTube Shorts will continue to play while users are using other apps.
YouTube Experimental features
YouTube is testing a new experimental feature for the Premium tier named Smart Downloads for Shorts. The feature functions the same in normal videos, however many users might want to download Shorts in the background as per their interests. This new experimental feature will let users watch them offline when there is no internet connectivity.
Another experimental feature for the Premium tier is called “Conversational AI,”. It is an AI-powered chatbot, which is not as potent as Gemini, however, it doesn’t intend to be one either. It aims to offer users information related to videos. It also improves the search experience on YouTube using natural language. Users can utilize this feature at any time without pausing the video playback.
The third experimental feature is a remodel of the Watch Page, which is elective at present. Earlier Google executed the new design of the Watch page for a few users in a forced way. Nevertheless, due to the criticism, now, it is up to users to participate in the test.
